Develop and implement an organising plan;

Empower and communicate with workers;

Promote union values, principles and policies;

Promote equality of opportunity and fair treatment for all workers;

Participate in the bargaining process;

Provide advice to union members;

Undertake negotiations; and

Organise for safer workplaces.

Delivery

The program is suitable for organisers with less than 4 years experience. Participants must be employed by a union as an organiser for entry into the program.
